Serial killer Todd Kohlhepp left creepy Amazon reviews on weapons before a woman was found chained up in his storage container... as new documentary explores his double life

The sinister crimes of a man who murdered seven people in South Carolina is being explored in a new Channel 4 documentary. On the surface, Tedd Kohlepp, now 53, was a successful American businessman - he built a career in real estate, won awards for his contributions in the area, and was described as a 'good boss'.

However, those who knew Kohlhepp more deeply were frequently left disturbed by his behaviour - he would watch pornographic videos at work, make macabre jokes and openly discuss his conviction for sex offences. Despite such unsettling incidents, few could have predicted the depravity that would play out, as Kohlepp carried out seven sadistic killings over 13 years before he was eventually caught and give a life sentence in 2016.
Now, Channel 4 are exploring his horrendous crimes in a new documentary, The Amazon Review Killer: Chilling Confession. The title alludes to one of the most surreal aspects of the murderer's crimes - he would leave chilling Amazon reviews about the weapons he used to kill his victims.

Both episodes of the two-parter, directed by rising star Billy Arthur, 22, will air on Monday January 6th at 10pm. Kohlepp, who was born in Florida but raised in Georgia and South Carolina, only saw his crimes come to light when when investigators rescued a woman chained up in a 30-foot-long storage container on his property in August 2016.
